When should the Nazi controllers send their 124 00:17:20,60 --> 00:17:27,53 fighter. It's our job to make them guess guess wrong. A half hour later 125 00:17:27,54 --> 00:17:31,77 at fourteen hundred dollars the blue force will be heading east across the North 126 00:17:31,78 --> 00:17:37,83 Sea with the white cross following. These enemy fighters are tied down waiting to 127 00:17:37,84 --> 00:17:42,56 meet them and will not be able to attack the green for these fighters must come up 128 00:17:42,57 --> 00:17:46,77 to attack the green for us and thus will be no threat to the blue and white forces 129 00:17:46,77 --> 00:17:48,40 .

Because of the blue force diversion and the simultaneous bombing of kind of the 142 00:18:58,86 --> 00:19:05,74 green force. This is the plan of battle for today.

No one point around the bomb site another stationary 172 00:23:02,54 --> 00:23:06,10 point. They. Will release. 173 00:23:08,45 --> 00:23:10,41 Why. 174 00:23:16,18 --> 00:23:21,75 When 175 00:23:21,76 --> 00:23:25,30 a truck in.
